Pak Army^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: K C Sexton| T: J R Barry| OR: 94

12/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20f, good, 16/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers back on. Still question marks about him as a hurdler so others make more appeal.

7/1

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Showed much improved form when second of 13 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (16.7f, good) 49 days ago, conceding first run. Looks competitive nudged up a few pounds.

12/1

Chrisaldy¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: D Cullen| OR: 85

4/1

16/1, fared better than of late when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.8f, good) 13 days ago, no extra only on run-in. Can make presence felt if building on that effort.

11/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 25/1, tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, good) 6 days ago. Needs to shrug off last couple of efforts to feature.

Larkhill Lady¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 80

22/1

Made little impression when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft, 25/1) 14 days ago. Each-way claims.

Form: 87PP76

Peace Party^h,t⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: E Walsh⁽⁵⁾| T: D McDonogh| OR: 80

16/1

Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 28/1, never dangerous when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, good) 73 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging of a couple of lesser efforts.

I Sea The Moon (7/2), Chrisaldy (4/1), Future Romance (11/2), Lunastar (7/1), Tiantu (8/1), Ellaat (9/1), Trenchtown Rock (11/1), Pak Army (12/1), Sand And Water (12/1), Sweet Justice (12/1), Peace Party (16/1), Fortfield Lady (16/1), Larkhill Lady (22/1), Sienne D'or (28/1), Lady Kapalua (28/1), Argenta (33/1), Muntahez (50/1), Going Solo (50/1), Jj Nester (50/1), Alterno (66/1), Lilly Banner (80/1), Allez George (150/1), Fintown Boy (150/1)

A host in with chances but it could pay to side with I SEA THE MOON. Barry Fitzgerald's charge showed much improved form switched to handicap company when finishing runner-up at Tramore 7 weeks ago and, with further progress on the cards, she can go a place better here. Peace Party, Lunastar and Chrisaldy are just a handful of others worth considering in a wide-open contest.
